6 Bay Ridge Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The 6 Bay Ridge Avenue building, a 6-story, 5-unit Class A structure built in 1928 and currently owned by 8 Loujain LLC, has experienced recurring maintenance and compliance issues over the past several years. Most notably, there has been an ongoing violation regarding the filing of annual bedbug reports, with Notices of Violation issued in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024, though recent reports (2023-2024) indicate no infested or eradicated units.

The building has faced multiple active Department of Buildings violations related to elevator safety, including a failure to file required inspection/testing documentation in 2019 and two open violations from 2019 and 2020. A health-related complaint concerning animal odor was filed in 2019 and remains in progress as of 2023. The property has undergone several inspections revealing various safety and compliance issues, particularly in 2016 when multiple violations were documented regarding required safety notices in the first-story public hall, including smoke detector requirements, carbon monoxide detector requirements, and building heating system keyholder notification.

In 2018, an Environmental Control Board violation was imposed concerning inoperative zone lock and door lock systems, resulting in a $1,250 penalty. A recent housing maintenance code complaint regarding inadequate electric lighting was filed in June 2025, though it has since been closed. While the building has maintained bedbug-free status in recent filings since 2022, the pattern of safety and compliance violations, particularly concerning elevator systems and safety notices, suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance and regulatory compliance.
